A possible link to another incident in London is being considered.

Law enforcers in London have detained a 21-year-old man suspected of setting fire to a house linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

It was reported by Sky News.

According to investigators, the front doors of two houses in north London were set on fire overnight.

One of them, law enforcement officials believe, is owned by Starmer and is now rented out. The incidents occurred on Sunday and Monday night.

A possible link is also being considered to another car fire that occurred earlier in the same area.

Police confirmed that the man in custody is suspected of arson with intent to endanger life.

He was taken into custody on Tuesday, May 13. There were no injuries from the fires, but the entrance to the building was damaged.

Because the property is associated with a public figure, the Counterterrorism Command is investigating. All three incidents are still being treated as suspicious.

Reminder that on Monday there was a fire at the home of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The cause of the fire was unknown, but police confirmed that no one was injured.
